Thursdays with Mom & Michael

Thursdays with Mom & Michael is a loving chronicle of Elaine Rosenberg's celebrated Thursday night dinner parties in Aspen, Colorado written by her daughter, Anita Rosenberg. A well-known and wildly popular Aspen tradition, Elaine's Thursdays with Mom & Michael events draw an eclectic and unique mix of guests who gather to share their similarities and differences over one of Elaine's beautifully-themed tables, and Chef Michael Rueggeberg's exquisite regionally-inspired cuisine. Thursdays with Mom & Michael is a sumptuous guide for aspiring hosts and hostesses who want to establish a dinner party tradition of their own.

Arranged by themes such as Birds of Paradise, Midnight in Morocco, and The Black & White Party and complete with stunning photographic layouts by esteemed Aspen photographer Karl Wolfgang, Thursdays with Mom & Michael is a daughter's loving tribute to her Mom's entertaining wisdom and home artistry, a four-star cookbook, as well as an elegant and evocative illustrated coffee table guide for anyone who wants to establish a weekly supper club of their own to celebrate family and friends.

Elaine treats her guests to a breath of the fresh French countryside with her Evening in Provence party, an Asian feast fit for an empress in her Buddha Bar theme, along with six other fabulous global settings. Anita illustrates, with loving attention to her mom's high sense of style and flair for unique and inspirational detail, every element of these successful theme parties, which have made Thursdays with Mom & Michael the hottest ticket in a very hot town.

Complete with fun and informative sidebars, special drinks of the night, recipes for Michael's globally-inspired cuisine, and everything you ever wanted to know about napkin rings, Thursdays with Mom & Michael is the perfect Mother's Day, seasonal holiday, hostess or anytime gift to encourage every member of the extended family to gather, celebrate, and cement a loving bond.
